Hi, I am a person

[Cephandrious Maxtori Fae/Faer]

I'm not sure what to put here...

[First of the Tide He/him]

Welcome. I'm Tide, and I hang around all over the place, but right now i'm custom making Shardblades (request form below, but PM me first) and trying to name all 65535 Shard Combos.

What Cosmere books have you read? Non-Cosmere? Non-Sanderson?

Oh! and which dinosaur would make the best mistborn?

Also, consider checking out the Sharder FAQ, if you have any questions.

Welcome to the Shard! If you could have lunch with three characters from Brandon's books, who would they be? Alternatively, if you could punch any one character in the Cosmere with no consequences, who would it be?

You are both nice and insane. The Cosmere is AMAZING. You have arrived in the best place to freak out about the Cosmere

Hello everyone,

I do infact very much like Ruin, to a possible concerning degree,

So far I've read both eras of mistborn, stormlight 1-5+2.5+3.5, secret projects 1,3, and 4, Elantris, White Sand, Warbreaker, and all of Arcanum Unbound, 

And I don't know much about dinosaurs, but I'd say Velociraptors, because I heard they're pretty smart, and intelligence is important, while you can substitute physical attributes with allomancy.

I STORMIN' LOVE THE COSMERE, I COULD TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE IT FOR 16 RUSTIN' DAYS STRAIGHT!

If I could have lunch with three characters,  they would be Ati, Shallan and Cephandrius (Bearer of the First Gem).

And if I could punch one character in the cosmere, it would be Kelsier, because he's an arrogant prick who needs a good punch from time to time, and if I picked someone actually evil, I'd be left with the feeling that I didn't do enough for the rest of my life, and because he punched my boy Ati, and my other boy Leras, so I need to return the favour, plus, I actually can't hurt him, since he's a cognitive shadow, so my conscience is clear, but he's certainly going to feel it.

My favourite would be aloe, but I also like to keep a small pot of basil(regular, sacred, or thai) as an occasional snack.

Yay, someone who also appreciates aloe! I have 3 of those guys just chilling in my room.

Do you like Wayne? What Radiant order's ideals do you connect the most with? What radiant order's powers do you like the most? What are your favorite compounding and non-compounding twinborn combos?

[-ACE- he/him]

Hello and welcome to the shard! I'm ACE, I used to be FRENZEE but it all changed when the fire nation attacked.

What is your favorite book not by Brandon?

Do you enjoy eating food?

What is your favorite flavor of water?

"Ain't no fellow who regretted giving it one extra shake, but you can bet every guy has regretted giving one too few."

-The best rustin' man the cosmere's ever seen

I feel I connect with the lightweavers' ideals the most, since I often struggle with my self-perception, and my default trauma response is repression.

The radiant order whose surges I like most are also the lightweavers, because I find the ability to alter my appearance very appealing.

My favourite compounding twinborn would be gold, but if I had to choose to have myself, I would pick bronze, since I'd never have to sleep again, and bronze is cheap enough that I could easily get the quantities I need for compounding.

Non-compounding, I'd have to pick slider+archivist, I have a terrible memory, so I'd use copperminds whenever I have to take a test, and speed bubbles are fun.

Rustin' fire nation, always messing everything up.

My favourite book not my brandon would have to be The Dangerous Gift (Wings of Fire book 14).

Sometimes 

Usually sparkling, depends on my mood though.

He was the most... fire man the cosmere ever had...

Truer words have never been spoken.

Gold and Bronze are pretty great (immortality and being awake)

Copperminds and speed bubbles are some of the best perks indeed.

Oh, do you watch AtLA?

AND YOU READ WoF???

We are gonna be besties here.

Ookla Season Cometh!

Ookla Season is one of our most venerated traditions here on 17th Shard. To honor the birthday of Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon Sanderson's assistant, we change our names to "Ookla the [Epithet]" on his birthday, November 26th. Most people change back after a week, but Ookla Season doesn't officially end until Koloss Head-Munching Day (Dec 19th - Brandon Sanderson's birthday) in December.

So, yeah. Ookla season! Hopefully you won't be as confused as I was my first time around.

Ookla was Peter's Forum Name for the Time Waster Guild Forums, which were the predecessor to these forums.

Just as a general rule, it is against shard policy to post 2 times in a row, you should usually just edit your post if you can.

14 is a good one, but I prefer 12. I mean, my pfp is cricket after all.
